“It’s not just for us, it’s for our comrades too”

A pair of brave servicemen who between them survived D-Day, gun fights, and witnessed the liberation of the Belsen Concentration Camp have received France’s highest honour.

Lesley Lemon, 96, from Bierton, and Sidney Peachey, 98 from Princes Risborough, each received the Legion d’Honneur medal this week, in recognition of their bravery in Europe during the Second World War.
